A change in plans

We didn't go away this last weekend. Oh well.

Having kids means finding someone who can watch them for an extended period if you want to go away together alone. We, fortunately, didn't have that problem this time around. And even though we didn't go away together, Josh's parents watched the girls for us until Sunday morning until we missed them so much we couldn't take it anymore. Then what happens? They fall asleep for three hours when all I really want to do is spend time with them!

Funny how you can look forward to some events and become so excited about them and all the work you put into getting everything ready, finding a sitter, etc. and then everything gets totally washed. For once, we actually made plans and had everything together. We did end up getting a lot done around the house, and it looks like we will actually be able to really go somewhere together in a couple of weeks.

It's been a crazy, crazy month with so much going on...Every weekend has been so busy for us, and I can hardly believe that September is just around the corner.

This coming weekend is the annual Big Sur camping trip with Josh's family. It will be Olivia's first time camping. I'm hoping that she doesn't wake up the entire camp site like Bea did last year at 5:30 AM, crying and not wanting to stop. You have to laugh at that, though...especially waking up the partiers that were up until 3 AM being loud and obnoxious. Laughing to myself, though, because if I woke up to a baby crying at 5:30 AM and have only gotten two hours of sleep and still felt semi-drunk, well I would probably start crying along with that baby.

The weekend after will more than likely be a Josh and Jenna getaway weekend, but it's still tentative right now.

And then it's Labor Day, folks. Where did the summer go?

I have so many other things I wanted to do in this lovely month of August, and things I was supposed to make plans for include:

- Visit K and her new baby
- Plan a play date with J and her three girls
- Get my hair cut and highlighted
- Try on my bridesmaid dress for L's wedding

No time. No time. No time. I guess it's a bad idea to request that 2006 have one extra month added to it?
